Snow Moon and The Belt of Venus

The February full moon is known as the Snow Moon. It can be seen here rising above what is affectionately known as The Belt of Venus The Belt of Venus is a mix of blue sky… caused by the normal reflecting of sunlight… and pink sky… caused by the reflecting of light from the setting sun. Whatever the cause, it is a beautiful sight. Look for a 100% illuminated Full Snow Moon to rise right in the middle of the Belt of Venus tomorrow night..
